Oh my God, I couldn't resist. Amiga users doing their HW before screaming
standard lines of propaganda? (This is going to be like stepping on ants)
Propaganda? You've got to be kidding. On this side of the fence (Amiga)
we face more propaganda from other computer users 
(assuming themselves literate and 'informed') about how the Amiga is dying,
only a game machine, never compete, unsupported, lousy software....and
on and on. Try out this sometime, mention the Amiga in one of your 
computer related discussions with someone else and watch the propaganda 
flow. Like: "Yeah, I've heard about that machines, so-and-so says
[insert propaganda here]"

Call me crazy, but I end up refuting the most ABSURD accusations to
people around here when they find out I have an Amiga. Unreal the things
people come up with. "Yeah, and from what I understand Commodore's
going under." 

So, in summary, we (Amiga users) more often get the short end of the
propaganda stick then probably any other computing crowd. Please, feel
perfectly free to correct me on this.  ;-)
